Adds the React Native 0.88 release post.

Comment on lines +119 to +120
- **0.89**: Continue fixing issues reported by the community. Swift Package Manager remains opt-in.
- **0.90**: Target Swift Package Manager as the default, with an opt-out to CocoaPods for apps that are still blocked.

I just realized that 0.89 is going to be the breaking change release while 0.90 is going to be non-breaking.
Turning the flag on for everybody is going to be a breaking change, so I think is better if we remove the 0.89 line and we update 0.90 to be 0.89.
Wdyt?

Agree 👍 0.89 with SPM as default sounds reasonable to me
